    paper The Harder The Better

    ‘The Harder The Better’ is a seven track collaborative project between the Nigerian-based emcee/producer duo of Mista Books and Teck Zilla. Inspired by classic ‘90s hip-hop and old school flicks they both grew up on, the project is chock full of vivid lyricism and cinematic soundscapes with sound bites from various movies, spoken word artists, and even legends like Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X.

    From the opening salvo of the title track, Mista Books takes the listener deep into the dark crevices of the project with detailed exposition and an imposing vocal delivery. This is followed by the celebratory single “Try Angles,” and the courtroom inspired concept track “Guilty By Rhyme.” Both tracks showcase Books penchant for crafting verbal pictures that can be literally put on the big screen.

    Rapper Phlow appears on the densely packed, piano-driven track "Unapologetic,” and as the name suggests she alongside Books hold nothing back with their take on what it takes to be true to oneself. “Black Muscle” is a somber reflective track that dwells on black excellence in every aspect and sees Books joined by Atlanta-based emcee, Mackgee for a spectacular display of love for everything black. “Prophylactic” is pure bravado on wax as Books lays the hammer on the opposition with reckless abandon. The project is wrapped up by the posse cut, “Everyday Thang” featuring Ex-O and Prophecy, where the trio take turns in expatiating their respective status as hip-hop connoisseurs over a classic piano sample expertly tailored by Teck-Zilla.

    ‘The Harder The Better’ gets straight to the point with a variety of sounds that fuse boom-bap with soul, jazz and more. On the other hand, Mista Books is fully in his element and brings forth a no-nonsense pen game. The seven track EP is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms via Str8Buttah Productions.

    uniE621 Summer Zilla
    Summer Zilla is the soul-drenched, sun-kissed new beat tape from Nigerian-based beatsmith, Teck-Zilla. The way he flips samples will leave crate diggers yearning for more while heads of all ages will no doubt use this as their next warm-weather excursion. Whether you’re experiencing dreadfully high temperatures or lucking out with some cool breezes right now, Summer Zilla is your new soundtrack. As he’s established over the years with other themed projects, Teck-Zilla can take any subject matter and turn it into something new and refreshing. For Summer Zilla, that meant combing through his crates to find just the right set of records to transform into what we hear on these ten brilliant instrumentals. According to Teck, he produced the majority of the beats on here several years ago, though they went through his usual edits and revisions. “While the original concept was kinda different from what it is now, the beats at the time were made to fit a certain vibe,” he says. “I pretty much tailored the beats to suit my birth month (July), and I already knew I was going to release it then, so that put the ‘warm’ element into the mix.” Singling out individual tracks almost feels like an injustice what Teck-Zilla has crafted here. Every bit of Summer Zilla—from the scratches and head-nodding drums of “By Buy Bye” to the more modern and hypnotic “Beaucoup”—is seamless and beautifully produced. That being said, the beat-switch on “Vanilla Drenched” is unexpected yet gratifying, while “Dear Summer” closes out the tape with a bang(er). photo illustrator
